Spectacular, showy to say nothing



Who said Hybrids is not worthwhile plants to cultive?
Wow!
Some are for a bit of worshipping and cultivation!
This plant is unique ´cause it is an only one.
One out of some thousands.
It is young and has much to grow and improve.
This was deformed by the proximity with the other seedlings.
Imagine this very same plant one year ahead...
Green background dusted in pure white scales. The white scales turn intensively sprayes as you go to the center of the plant. The largest area of the foliage is the heart of the crown so the plant is more white than green. Look at the spine. They are white!
What generated this beauty?
The seed plant was a Dyckia marnier-lapostolei from Bahia, a most desired plant.
The pollen came from a Dyckia brevifolia var. Izabel. Both plants were collected.
The plant from Bahia I bought in Salvador-BA from a collector of orchids and cacti.
